Fall fashion is probably my favorite in New York City. I love the way we get to dress here when the cold starts to come in. My favorite look, and something that just never goes out of style, is black leather. It's chic, sexy, bold and totally a neutral. Works so well in fashion and decorating...both looks rock the world.

I absolutely love how this black leather chair is paired next to a brown grasscloth wall. I am a huge fan of black and brown. There is something really chic about the look of the combination of both masculine colors.

So, Im working on a little something something with Valspar right now. I've got a beautiful antique piece in my apartment that needs a little makeover and while I was in Los Angeles on BlogTour, I was so inspired by Mr. Steam and the whole bathroom showroom...and matte black. I've always been such a fan of high gloss black on furniture, but after seeing this gorgeous french dresser in matte black, I knew I had to get some of that in my home.

{The Mr. Steam showroom had matte black on high, I was obsessed. The chrome 4 head shower was insanely good.}

After being so inspired by that showroom on what to do on this new project...I went for more inspiration. Thank goodness for pinterest + the ease of finding inspiration...

There is nothing I love more than a big, cozy, fluffy white sofa. It's one of those things that just will never go out of style, am I right? So how can you make these shabby chic sofas make a more modern statement? A touch of black. It's a new obsession of mine, to find more decor ideas daily. This one is right up my alley, especially because I have a white sofa in my own living room. This first look is so chic with black trimmed ribbon on the pillows.

I also think these black thin stripes can be very chic...and there is nothing like a good piping job, to make a sofa just kill it.
